Western & Southern Open

When Cami & I lived in Ohio, I remember photographing folks like Andre Agassi & Pete Sampras at the ATP Championships in Cincinnati. One of the longest running professional tennis tournaments in the country, it’s now known as the Western & Southern Open.

While we’re up here this summer visiting family and friends, Cami & I decided to attend the tournament for old time’s sake. 🙂 In the end, Andy Murray won his second Cinci title, besting Novak Djokovic who’s been playing phenomenal tennis this year. Maria Sharapova beat Jelena Jankovic for the ladies title.

We also got to see one of the best doubles matches I’ve seen in a while. #1 seeds, the Bryan brothers of USA lost a tight three set thriller to the dynamic team of Mahesh Bhupathi & Leander Paes who teamed up from India, eventually winning the title.
